Welcome to your Local Chapter of Child Evangelism Fellowship®, serving South Orange County from Costa Mesa to San Clemente, California.
Reaching children with the Gospel since 1937.
We are the Orange Coast Chapter of Child Evangelism Fellowship®, serving our local community within the largest international children’s ministry in the world.
Our purpose is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, disciple them in the Word of God, and establish them in a local church for Christian living.
Bring a Good News Club or a JYC Club to your Local Elementary or Middle School, or serve at a Club that is already established in your area.
If you are interested in finding out more about how you can serve and reach children through the ministry of CEF with the life changing gospel of Jesus, then plan to attend our next New Volunteer Training Meeting to better equip you to lead children and teens in knowing and serving Christ. Meetings are held via Zoom and/or in person.
(See Events Section for detailed information on upcoming Enrichment Meetings and Training Dates.)

Ministry Statistics
Since the ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship began back in 1937, well over 220 million children have been reached worldwide with the good news of the gospel. 19,575,136 children were reached in 2022 worldwide, with 6,009,739 children professing faith in Christ and committing to serve and follow Jesus. Praise God!
Also in 2022, CEF trained 439,423 people to evangelize and disciple children, and there were 79,733 Good News Clubs worldwide. We are thrilled that the number of Good News Clubs rose 44% over last year. Good News Clubs are definitely the heartbeat of CEF.
Evangelism and Discipleship Ministries
Our direct ministries to children include Good News Club®, Jesus You Connection® (JYC), Summer 5-Day Clubs®, and Christmas and One-Day Party Clubs, held in neighborhood parks, school campuses after school, community centers, churches, and more. We also reach children and families through community events and local fairs.
Church and Community Partnership
An essential part of our purpose is to establish children in the local church. By partnering with churches, we serve together to bring Gospel and discipleship ministries to children on a broader scale and equip members to cultivate an evangelistic, missions mindset to engage with our local communities.
Endeavoring to fulfill Christ’s great commission, we partner to hold special outreach events throughout the year, provide robust trainings for volunteers and ministry workers, and have a rich ministry library of CEF® Press resources and curriculum for ministry workers, families, and church children’s ministries.
Every Child, Every Nation, Every Day
Together we can Change the Future!
It all began with a vision to reach every child, every nation, every day. See how Child Evangelism Fellowship® is being used by God through volunteers and missionaries to impact children and families in our local communities around the world.
